Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2017127A1] A device (100) to adjust the orientation of a mirror of a motorcar, comprising a body (110, 6, 18) accommodating a first and a second electric motor (7, 8) and a first and a second gear (120, 121) driven by said first and second motor (7, 8) respectively, a reflective element support (4) pivot-mounted at the body (110, 6, 18) in relation to two pivot axles, at which reflective element support (4) two gear rods (17, 19) are arranged engaging with said gears (120, 121, 35), a first gear rod (17) engaging with the first gear (120, 35) to pivot the reflective element support (4) around a first pivot axle and a second gear rod (19) engaging with the second gear (121, 35) to pivot the reflective element support (4) around a second pivot axle. According to the invention, the gear rods (17, 19) are formed as circular arc sections each and the body (110, 6, 18) accommodates means (9) to springy press the first and second gear rod (17, 19) against the first and second gear (120, 121, 35) respectively, eliminating relative moving between the gearing of the gear rods (17, 19) and the gears (120, 121, 35) in operation conditions, and the gears (120, 121) comprise safety clutch means (10) each, allowing the gears (120, 121) to slip in overload conditions.
